Spurs Considering Offloading Winger Welsh International Johnson.
Tottenham Hotspur's Europa League final hero Brennan Johnson confronts an uncertain future in North London amid growing Premier League attention in the attacker.
It is understood that the club, while not actively looking to sell the Welsh international, are receptive to letting Johnson leave if they get a substantial bid.
Crystal Palace are reportedly the team furthest along in their interest for Johnson, but a number of sides are said to be monitoring his situation closely.
A Season of Mixed Fortunes
Johnson was Tottenham's top Premier League goalscorer last season with 11 goals, and wrote his name in Spurs folklore by scoring the decisive goal in their European final victory against United last season, bringing to a close the club's seventeen-year wait for a trophy.
However, the exit of Ange Postecoglou and arrival of Thomas Frank has meant Johnson playing more of a bit-part role this season.
The 24-year-old, has made only six top-flight starts this term.
January Window Interest Mounts
As a result, a host of clubs have been alerted to his possible departure before the January transfer window.
Given his reduced minutes and the looming possibility of a global tournament on the horizon with Wales, a transfer elsewhere from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could benefit Johnson next month.
Johnson joined Tottenham from Forest in a deal worth £47.5m in the summer of 2023 and has scored 27 goals for the club.
Key Points
- The Welsh international's position at Spurs is currently in doubt.
- Tottenham is not pushing for a sale but would consider offers.
- Crystal Palace are at the front of the queue, with further Premier League clubs monitoring.
- The arrival of manager has limited his playing time significantly.
- The January transfer window and international commitments could influence a January exit.
